What are you favourite salads?
As the cold weather slips away, new-season produce begins to appear and our eating habits change. We want lighter meals but perhaps not the crisp, cold salads that match a perfect summer's day. There's no better time to enjoy warm salads as entrees, mains or side dishes served with meat or fish.
Salads were prepared long before they were written about. The term comes from the Latin "sal" or "salata", which refers to raw vegetables dressed in vinegar, oil and salt. Later, salad, or "sallet", turns up in late 14th-century English literature. It was the late 20th century when nouvelle cuisine introduced warm salads as menu items. Fortunately, the salad has continued but nouvelle cuisine is a thing of the past.
Try these salads to start: Globe artichoke, sausage and sage salad, Mum's potato salad and Broccoli, almond and oregano salad.
